I found something I really wanted so I contacted the person and agreed to meet. In fact, we had to reschedule 3 times, because once she failed and once I failed. And the 3rd time, she had to cancel. Anyways, from the messages she did sound like she really wanted to sell the item to me, so I kept messaging her asking if we could reschedule. However, the last 3 messages I had sent only show a single check mark, indicating the messages have been delivered but haven't been read. So I'm starting to think if she blocked me for whatever the reason. If so, how could I know that? If she did, then I can give up on the item. If she didn't, then I still want her to notice my message and hopefully reschedule. So, if I'm blocked by someone, how can I know that? Any signs or indication that I am? Thank you for reading.

I so agree. We should be able to see the description of how they got their ratings. I'm not worry about the buyers if they are at least being communitive, but failing to respond to my "yes I still have it," I feel like I'm just wasting my time on OfferUp. The app should take away that system of sending automatic messages. It's all too easy to be compulsive and non-committal.

Blocking people won't solve this problem because I'll still have to keep blocking them. The problem is that people message too quickly without much thought. The solution to discourage that is to notify others that they tend to send messages compulsively. They can't make multiple accounts if the app can block their email accounts altogether.

Seriously. You only get to rate one person per a sale is not working. We have to be able to rate those who message us compulsively. The ones who don't respond to your reply that was sent within a minute after their "is it still available?" Or the ones who set up the time to meet, cancel later saying their relative passed away. We need to be able to send "non-serious buyer" label to those who are just looking for good deals and don't really need the items they say they need. We need to discourage those users from being on OfferUp. So it should go like this; 1 I post an item 2 someone sends me "is it still available?" 3 I respond right away it is. 4 I get no reply for 12 hours 5 I sent the "non-serious buyer" label to him/her. 6 when he/she reaches 10 labels, he/she loses the previledge of sending messages to the sellers. The label can be taken away when he/she replies to the sellers and the sellers think it's fit to do so. What do you all think?
